As a fully qualified and vastly experienced Teacher, past examiner and mindset coach, you are in good hands. Good grades and mental well-being matter. I am passionate about the education and well-being of learners and strive to build a well balanced and successful individual across all written subjects by boosting their English language skills, and self awareness. Having worked extensively within the education system I very quickly recognised that the key to good teaching, was good learning. By learning to listen to my students needs and desires, and implementing the life skills training, I was enabled to support them at a bespoke level of teaching and learning to enable them to achieve and be their best , in the art of the communication, self awareness, English Language for exams and beyond.
Today I specialise in working with under achieving learners with a desire to achieve. By delivering bespoke lessons, carefully tailored to the abilities and desired outcomes of the learner, together we achieve. My passion is to see a learner move from ‘I hate English’, to ‘Wow, is that all it is?’ I firmly believe that English Language is far more than an academic subject. It is a communication system for life, and by mastering this skill it is possible to boost grades in all written subjects as well as becoming an excellent communicator in Education and beyond.
My unique style of delivery is said to ‘break the mould of traditional teachers’, for which I am most proud. I love teaching, I love the English Language and I love seeing learners falling in love with it too.

Tutoring Approach

Passion. Passion for people to achieve and believe in themselves and see how great they can be when they are fully open to the learning experience. Passion for the subject and belief that English is so much more than an academic subject. Passion for seeing the achievement unfold before my eyes and a fellow human being recognising their achievements. With a bespoke style of delivery, and embedded transformational coaching into lessons you really can achieve so much more than you believe. Teenagers are in need of learning to manage their emotions to succeed in life. And that is what I teach them first and foremost. Only when a learner is confident, will they learn to the best of their ability. Exam technique; Love of the subject; Resilience for health and wellbeing; Consistent approach in delivery, has always been my approach to teaching and learning. A happy and engaged learner will always exceed even their own expectations and support them into A levels and beyond. Integrating Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques into lessons promotes learner ability to stay in a healthy mindset and open to learning with an improved confidence and ability to achieve.
What one student had to say that sums up my passion for teaching:
Our daughter is very strong on the Maths front and I think the quote from her 'Elizabeth has taught me the formula to answer the questions' says it all. The formula being to approach English with inquisitiveness and thrill rather than the robotic fashion in school. As a result she passed her re-take and we are very pleased.
